That cass arose upon the proseci- the rates for transporting milk as | fixed by the Minnesota Railway cominis- sion. When the railway claimod tha t such schedule was operating to deprive it of its property without aue process of law bscause unreasonable and unjustthe state court refused to admit any ovidence upon the question of rea- sonableness. What the United States suprems court decided in that case was that the action of the state court violated the 14th amondment. Their ordernpon that occasion was made on the special assumption that the state court persisted in interpreting the local statute as conferring final deter- mination of the reasonablensss of rates upon thestato commission w in any ease. The inferenc state court had so cornstrued the law as to permit a judicial investigation of the reasonablencss of the charges, the fod- eral court would have upheld the consti- tutionality of the law. The decision in the Minnosota milk case has baen much misunderstood. The very fact that the railways hailed it a3 overturning "the doctrina of logislativo vogulation of rates improssed it upon the suprome court that its ruling was not en- ar and consequently that court the iost opportunity onted to explain its position This explanation was recently as Februar hont appeal is that if tho d that pee upon that point. made public 8o 1892, and is to ba found in Budd vs Nev York, valid 143 U. S, 517. In this case the v of an act of the legislaturs of York, establishing a maximum of charges for elevating and ware- within that swte, was a constitutional rate housing grain vigorously upheld as exercise of legislative power. Tho late Justice Blatchford, in de- livering the opinion of the court, said that the main question involved was whether tiio court would adhers to its decision in Munn vs fllinois. He cave- fully reviewed the interpretation which had baen put upon that case by the state tribunals, and reafficmoad the views dof the eourt of appeals of New York based thercon, so far as thoy support the validity of the statute in question. The doctrine 1aid down in Munn vs [llinois, he said, was that private property de- voted to a public use becomes subject to public rogulation, and that this regula tion mizht proporly take the form of u legislutive fixing of reasonable maxi- mum rates. He cited the cases in which the supreme court had followed its sarlier decision, and continued: In Chicago, cte., Railwaycompany vs Min- nesot, it was said by Mr. Justice Bradioy in his dissenting opinion, in which Mr Justice Gray and Mr. Justice Lamar con- curred, that the decision of the court in that case practically overruled Munn vs [llinois, but the opinion of the court did nov say so vor did it refer to Munn vs Illinois are of the opinion that the decision in the ase in 134 U. S.1s, as will be hereafter shown, quite distinguishable from the pres- ent enso It is thus apparent that thiscourt has adhered to the decision in Munn vs 1llinois and to the doctrines anmounced in the opinion of the court in that case; and those aoctrines have swmce been repeatedly en- forced in the decisions of tiie courts of the states. Justice and we Blatehford then goes on to cite the cases in tho state courts re- ferred to, among them the western egraph case, 17 Neb., 126, where the business of the defoendant was held to be subjeet to the public control, and concludes that ‘‘we must regard the orinciple maintained in Munn vs [linois as fivmly established.” What is said in reference to the Min- nesota milk case and in reference to the claim that that case made the fixing of charges a judicial question a8 to whether they are reasonablo or not, is 80 important as to desorve literal quo- tation: But this is a cision of this misapprehension of the de- court in the case reforred to. In that case the legislature of Minnesota had passed an act which established a rail- road aud warehouse commission, and the be final and conclusive as to what were cqual and reasonable charges and that there could be no judicial inquiry as to the ableness of such rates. A railvoad company in answer to an application for & mandamus contended that such rates in regard to it were unreasonable and, as it was uot allowed by the stato court to put in testimony in sup port of its answer on tho question of the reasonableness of such rates, this court held that the statute was in conflict wita the constitution of the United States as depriv- ing tho company of its property without aue process of law and depriving it of the equal protection of the laws. That was a very different case from one under the stat- ute of Now York in question here, for in this instance the rateis fixed directly by the lature. What was said iu the opinion of the court in 134 U. 8. had reference only to the caso then before the court and to charges fixed by a commission appointed under an ac of the legislature under a con ason- son.

Justice Fleld has dis- sented in all these cases, from Mann vs lllinois on. Justice Brewor's dissent was on the express ground that & ware- house did not constitute private prop- orty devoted toa public uco; he would evidently have no difficulty in support- | ing maximum rates for railway trans- portation. Justice Brown's position is not very clear, It is thus evident that the railway at- torneys are trying to mislead the public asto the status of the already decided casos where maximum rate laws have come before the United States supreme court for interpretation. That court, as it stands constituted today, stands com- mitted to the doctrine that the states have the power to establish maximum rates of charges for railway transporta- tion. To sustain the railway point of iow, their attorneys will have to win over to their side several judges on the highest federal bench THE UHIO DEMOCRATS. The Ohio democratic convention yestorday nominatad Lawrence T. Neal for governor, thus placing in opposition to Governor McKiniey a candidate who represents the extreme anti-protection wing of the democracy, and is also an advocato of the free and unlimited coin- age of silver. Mr. Neal obtained a na- tional reputation at Chicago in connec- tion with the plank in the national plat- form denouncing protection as fraud and robbery and without constitutional authority. It has been a question whother the authorship of this plank belonged to him or to Mr. Watterson, but Neal has publicly claimed it and there is no question as to his having in- troduced it as an amendment to the platform framed by the committee on resolutions, and made a speech in its support. His identification with the first declaration ever made by a politi- cal party that protection is unconstitu- tional is, thorefore, sufficiently com- plete, and it is a matter of public knowl- edge that Neal is very proud of the fact. His nomination is also régarded as a triumph of the free silver element of the party. The candidacy of Mr. Neal will make national issues predominant in the cam- paign and the republicans of Ohio would not have it otherwise. It will be a square fight botween the acknowledged representative of the policy of protec- tion as embodied in the McKinley law and a recognized champion of practical free trade. In such a contest there ought to be little doubt as to what the decision of tho voters of Ohio will ba, and especially under present conditions. With the business interests of that state suffering as scverely as those of any other from the effects of the distrust and depression that are at least measurably due to the taviff doctrine propounded at Chicago, it would be a most surprising result if the intelligent voters of Ohio should endorse that do trine by electing the man who is re sponsible for it. Moreover, sr. Neal hus many enemies in his own party, not all of whom will be placated. Twice before he was a candidate for the guber- natorial nomination, .and on both occa- sions he led factional fights which an- tagonized men whom it will now be found difticult, if not impossible, to ciliate. The fact that Neal cured the nomination largely the reason that there wus no one especially anxious to get 1t, the only explanation of which is that they could see little prospect of success. Not only ave the prevailing conditions peculiarly unfortunate for the demoe- racy of a state like Ohio, but Governor McKinley is a most formidable opponent at any time. The platform is of tovistic democratic type. It arraigns the republican party as responsible for the financial and business ills from which con- se- for else the charac- the country is suffering, declarcs for more currency, and throws a sop 1o the old soldiers, who will hardly be misled by it in view of the policy regarding them that has been instituted at Wash- ington. The Ohio eampaign will soon become interesting, the republicans being already pretty well organized to prosecute the contest with vigor. SHOWING A BETTER SPIRIT The action of the free silver membeors of congress in their cancus Wednesday, pledging themselves to support a bill for free coinage of silver in such a ratio as will provide and maintain the parity between gold and silver, indicates a better spirit among them which is as welcome as it was unexpected. m the utterances of the advocates of free silver coinage at Chicago and numerous individval expressions since there was no reason to expect that they would make any concession or offer or accept any compromise. Indeed the platform of the free silver men adopted at Chicago distinetly declares that “*thero mustbe no compromise of this question,” and that “all legislation demonetizing silver and vestricting tne coinage thereof must be immediately and completely repealed by an act restoring the coinage of the country to the conditions estahlished by the founders of the nation and which continued for over eighty years without complaint from any part of our people,” [t was also declared by the convention that the only remedy for our metallic financial troubles is to open the mints of the nation to gold and siiver on equal terms, at the old ratio of sixtaen of sil- ver to one of gold.” This was put forth only nine days ago as the irrevocable ultimatum of the freo silver mon, which overy repre- sentative of that element in congress was expected to adhere to unfalteringly. The change that has taken place in the sentiment of some of them, s) far as re- lates to the question of ratio, evidences the foree of public opinion. They have manifestly become ¢onvinead that the American people will not have free and unlimited silver coinage at the prosent coinage ratio, The caucus did notindicate what ratio the sjlver men will b willing to aceept, but Mr. Bland intimated that they might be disposed to have it established at 20 tol. At present the commereial ratio is about 28 to 1 and the price of silver has improved within the last fow days in oonsequence of an fnereased demwnd from China. When that do- mand snall have fbesn supplied it is probavie that thff "Brice of silver will again fall. At any rate it st be a long time before tha rolative markot value of silver andwresd is 20 to 1, and while it might ba unreasonabio to ask that the commercial ratio be made tho coinage ratio, obviously 20 to 1 would not represont the difference between tho two motals. As the silver men have manifested a dispo¥fibn to compromise on this question of iftio, howover, thers ought not to bd lany groat diM- culty 1n reaching an understanding as to what a fair ratio would bo, pro- vided that free inage at any ratio could secure a majority in congress and the approval of the president. The former s possivie, the latter altogethor improbable. Tere is reason to believe that Mr. Clevoiand is opposed w the free and unlimited coinage of silver under any circunstances or ditions and that he would veto any tmeasure for this purpose regardless of the coinage ratio that might be fixed by congress. Ho was hostile to free coinage during his first administration, one of the strongost arguments ever made against this policy ocing that of Clove- land's first sccretary of tho treasu Mr. Manning, sent to congress in 1886] in which the president expressed his full concurrence. It is possible that Mr. Cleveland has since then somewhat modified his views regarding silver, but certainly not to the oxtent that would allow him to approve a measure for its freo coinage. While, therofore, the free silver advocates are to be com- mended for manifesting a more rational disposition regarding this question, there seems no probability that their proposition can prevail. With free coinage of silver at a ratio of say 24 to 1, we should be in nodanger, probably, of being flooded with foreign silver, as would undoubtedly be the cas if there was free coinage at the present ratio. We should coin only the product of our own mines, and it is more than likely this would be reduced. As we have heretofors sail regarding an in- crease in the weight of the silver dol- lar, it would be attended with consider- able loss to the government on account of the large amount of silver it holds, but doubtless this would in time be more than offset by the gain to the public eredit, tne business interests and the general welfare from thus insuring for years to come the soundness and stabil- ity of the currenc S0 EAGER is the Lineoln Journal to defend the contemplated action of the State Board of Educational Lands and Funds in disposing of the saline lands to the present lessees. that it rushes for- ward a trifle too fagt in its anxiety to uphold the job. On ono page itan- nounces that one of tho lessees has ap- plicd for proceedings by which ho may secure the title to the land and that the board had referred phe petition to the attorney general for a report on the logality of the recent saline land sale law. When the attorney general makes his veport thé board promises to gauge its action by his recommendations. But another page of the same Jowrnal says that the board “will carry out the law to the letter, no matter what it may he con- strued by the most eminent authori- to be.” 1Isn't this anticipating the report of the attorney general a little too much? Woe all accept it as a foregone conclusion that such report will be favorable to the proposed sale, but we are willing to wait until the de- eision is made public. Asthe law stands, the whole matter of compensation rests with the Board of County Commissioners and the Lancaster county commissioners are not apt to burden the lessees with un- necessarily hoavy payments to the state.
